The customers fell in love with the new Tiangong Tree Mall the moment they stepped into it. The air in the mall felt fresher and had a mild scent of varying fruits. The System had utilised the essential oils used in the Emerald Mountain Hot Spring Instance and linked it to the air diffusers throughout the Tree Mall.
It lowered the tension of the customers significantly, making them feel relaxed and less likely to rush around from one place to another. Many were amazed by the giant Panda Tian Gong Statue, and after someone had set an example, others proceeded to also pray at the altar for good luck.
True enough, anyone near the Panda Tian Gong Statue felt at peace thanks to Octofussy's amazing job of creating the Legendary Tranquility Inscription. The customers did not hesitate to take a picture and did the same for all other places of the Tree Mall as it had the feel of an amusement park. The food store instances on the first floor were eagerly awaiting the hungry mass of people, and a number of customers rushed through to be amongst the first hundred in queue.
They were flabbergasted by the Pyramid Food Court Instance's sheer flexibility concerning the number of tables and the stores that provided the food. It was slightly more costly than before, but old patrons quickly realised that the food quality had improved by at least a fold.
Many of the stall owners were delighted to have taken up the superior food stock from Jin's 'supplier' and had even placed down another order via the store management icon in their Pandamonium App. Some of their die hard customers loved their food so much that they also took the time to write up a review on the Pandamonium App, hoping to help the owners bump up their so called rankings.
In an hour's time, the food court owners were surprised to experience their stores in the Pyramid getting moved around just as the penguins had promised. The customers in the queue enjoyed this sight of the stores flying in mid air before going to the allocated levels of the pyramid they obtained according to the sales.
Most if not all of the customers uploaded the pictures and videos on to their MeChat and Meibo accounts to show off the incredible shuffling of the pyramid stalls. With all this free advertisement, Jin did not need to worry that the stalls would be suffering losses anytime soon. Even if their food were not the best, the novelty of the instance would bound to make people visit the place.
As for the rankings, the mixed rice store was currently occupying the peak, followed by the noodle store and the vegetarian store. The chefs were undoubtedly nervous by the moving of their stores in mid air, but the assistant penguins assured them that nothing in their stall would be affected. It even suggested to make full use of the time to continue cooking so as to prepare extras for the continuous batches of customers arriving.
The Stall Owners were also glad to learn that they could buy chi potions from the Chinese Medicinal Store Instance via the store management app to aid them against their fatigue or emergency supplies from the Offshore Sea Store Instance like extra tins of cooking oil. The Pandafull Delivery Team had dedicated a guy to run around replenishing the supplies for these food stall owners and making sure that they were fully stock for the Day One craze.
On the other hand, the Panda Burger also received its fair share of Wows. From the edible Panda Burger parts to the toys as part of the Merry Panda Meals. Ke Ru, the Store Manager for Panda Burger had shamelessly copied her former Wacdonald's tactics and now used it for her own promotions.
The first batch of 'toys' available were Panda Miniature Keychains. For the first day only, they would be giving them out as a special edition of such keychains. When the store manager asked Jin whether if there will be a rerun of these keychains, he told Ke Ru that it would be impossible to find them anywhere else unless someone decides to replicate it. Still, he said it all depends on customer feedback.
The Day One Panda Miniature Keychains was shaped as a Panda with the Panda Burger uniform trying to fit a giant burger into its mouth by leaning backwards but failing to do so. Its eyes were furiously helpless, making the design an attraction for both adults and kids.
Ke Ru even provided customers who bought the normal Panda Burger set meals the option to buy the keychain which was supposed to be part of the Merry Panda Meal by paying an additional five Yuan. However, as greedy as humans could be, many tried to purchase multiple keychains in one go (most likely hoping to resell them later) which obviously went against the rules set by Ke Ru.
She only allowed one Panda Keychain per person, and because they had to use the Pandamonium App to order, the System pointed out to the cashier if a particular customer had already bought the keychain.
It was to prevent the waste of food just for that small keychain, and allowing other people the chance to get one of these limited items. (Although 'limited' was just a gimmick to Ke Ru since Jin promised a near infinite stock until the Panda Burger closed for the day.)
To be fair, the System had also warned customers who had already redeemed their keychain that queuing up again after placing an order would not result in another piece. But humans were creatures with high adaptability when it came to such situations…only to learn the hard way that it was futile against the almighty (cheapskate) System.
Some customers had extra phones because of their line of work and had installed the Pandamonium twice before realising it did not work since the app was tagged to their ID, which was similar to many of the apps they used.
At least it was worth a try, but not everyone had given up. Many customers begged in their reviews for the Panda Burger instance to allow them to buy at least one more for their next of kin or loved ones to the point that Ke Ru had to forward that message to Jin. (In fact, it was addressed to the System and later to Jin.)Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
"Wow, I did not expect that. Okay, only for those who have purchased the keychain once, let's allow the customers to get a coupon if they buy another meal. They can redeem that coupon to get it when purchasing a dungeon in Dungeons and Pandas." Jin slyly told the System as he was pushing around Yang Ling to tour the place.
Jin wondered to himself whether he should create a Christmas version for the coming week if Day One really turned out to be a hit for those keychain miniatures. Perhaps he should do it no matter the circumstances. There would bound to be people who love to collect such items.
Oh, the money. The sweet, sweet scent of digital money rolling into his wallet.
